Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Braiden McGregor at slot 90, roughly 80 spots before his name belonged.

That Tampa pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They let Amarius Mims come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in slot 42 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 56th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Value with a capital V on Roman Wilson in pick No. 59, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 87th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in pick No. 90 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, T.J. Tampa in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
The board had Cole Bishop higher than Round 4, Pick 6, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in the 123rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
They reached into another round for Marist Liufau, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Taking Matt Goncalves in pick 128 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Steal is underselling it; Braelon Allen at slot 131 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
No drama and no debate, Ainias Smith went about where he belonged in the 133rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Magee
They read the board right and Jordan Magee was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 38. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson is a better player than the 216th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick 233 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Frank Crum
Frank Crum at No. 244 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
